Nice with ice cream.<br /><br />Lynda - I should have used the loose base tin too, but rarely do. My own fault and yes, you would think the cake would do its utmost to look good! I am starting to feel in a craft mood, now that August is starting to feel remarkably like early Autumn here, with cooler and damper weather (though we have had the occasional very hot day this month). It will soon be time to batten down the hatches.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-20270616355488972932015-08-19T22:53:59.081-07:002015-08-19T22:53:59.081-07:00Yes, indeed, I have had lots of cakes stay in the ...Yes, indeed, I have had lots of cakes stay in the pan after baking; it can be so frustrating to go to all the trouble to bake and then not have it pop out of its pan with excitement !~! You'd think a cake would want to look nice, no? <br /><br />Love the books - crazy quilting is stunning altho I don't do it, I enjoy the workmanship and patience it takes to do that detailed stitching.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-16353261289361151012015-08-19T09:55:08.301-07:002015-08-19T09:55:08.301-07:00Sorry about your cooking attempts...I'm sure t...Sorry about your cooking attempts...I'm sure they tasted fine. I just can't bake, don't have the knack probably just as well as I've a sweet tooth and would be huge if I could bake. So good to hear that your daughters boyfriend is a nice guy, it must be such a relief. I can remember bringing home new boyfriends and hoping that everyone got on well with them.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-51079373663770149642015-08-18T23:43:50.928-07:002015-08-18T23:43:50.928-07:00Ha, that made me laugh as my wellies are Bogs!Ha, that made me laugh as my wellies are Bogs!Louise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-10883383649294135762015-08-18T07:55:21.052-07:002015-08-18T07:55:21.052-07:00thelma - Keith ate his usual frugal lunch with the...thelma - Keith ate his usual frugal lunch with the most calorific piece being an ounce of cheese (along with a stick of celery and a piece of fruit). Then he complained about feeling tired as he had spent 2 hours chainsawing logs and then splitting them - and they were rock hard after a summer in the yard. What is it with men?

We are also looking for a bit more community, where we live people know your business as we are what our agent would call 'semi-rural', but with nothing to hide they are welcome to ask what and why we are moving there along with a brew and a slice of cake, of course, anytime!. We know the vendors of our house quite well already and they are gorgeous people, have only moved down the road and I feel we have already made some wonderful friends.

You will be moving to a lovely area. I have a friend who lives near Bethania which is a similar distance from Aber. All I can suggest is that you will spend a lot more on fuel than you anticipated and anything you want to do is always going to be half a day's journey away! Keep good stores for the winter, as the weather can be unpredictable. Be prepared for a good community though, and everyone will know your business, as it is in the country!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-8032426499396948992015-08-18T03:12:48.119-07:002015-08-18T03:12:48.119-07:00I have the national trust Teatime and Baking book,...I have the national trust Teatime and Baking book,anmogst a host of other books for cooking and baking. I have been looking for blogs about people living the simple life in Wales. My family and I will be moving to mid-Wales, 12 miles of so inland from Aber, in about three weeks and eeeeek!
